Telus Tower - Question

[mcgill]

Hi, I have been reading SSP for about 5 years now and most recently, I have joined MTLURB so I could read that too, so I am quite familiar with all the projects. My question is this:

 

Does anybody know what the two giant metal semi-circles in front of the Telus Tower are and why they move? Sometimes they're down, sometimes one is up, or the other... I asked a security guard and he had no idea.

 

Thanks.

 

p.s. I am bilingual, however my writing skills are far better in English than in French, but please feel free to reply in either language. Also, I work in the McGill University Planning Office (hence the nickname) so I can be a resource for all McGill related construction questions.

it's a moving sculpture nothing more

cool, any news re the new arts building?? i saw quote that mcgill was going through unprecendented infrastructure upgrade, but other than bellini and the new music school (and the muhc), there isn't anything else in planning is there??

Bienvenue sur MTLURB McGill! Welcome!

 

Like West said, i believe it is simply a moving structure!

About the "moving arcs sculpture", every time I walked in front of it, a few years back, the arcs were always moving... even when it was freezing cold!

 

It would be fun to see more "moving sculptures", in Montreal, don't you think?
